This issue of Verse Wisconsin includes a number of drama/poetry crossovers by poets, playwrights, performance artists, and hybrids of those categories. Interesting to note is the fact that most of these UP TO $100 DANIEL BACHHUBER pieces were labeled by their authors, probably to help their readers and audiences identify what they MARY JO BALISTRERI are. Of the poetic dramas featured in the issue, both in print and online, some are in process; some MICHAEL BELONGIE unpublished and, as yet, unstaged; some have been performed but unprinted; some have had a staged B.

Finally, two dance poems—collaborations between Milwaukee poet Susan Firer and different LEN TEWS choreographers—raise the question: do words and movement in front of an audience create a poetry STEVE AND JEAN TOMASKO drama?

Additional thanks for a lifetime of love and encouragement go to my mother, Muriel – ‘ never indifferent ’. 4 Abstract This thesis investigates Simon Armitage ’ s claim that his poetry inherits from Tony Harrison ’ s work an interest in the politics o f form and language, and argues that both poets , although rarely compared, produce work which is conceptually and ideologically interrelated : principally by their adoption of a n ‘ un - poetic ’ , deli berately antagonistic language which is used to invade historically validated and culturally prestigious lyric forms as part of a critique of canons of taste and normative concepts of poetic register which I call barbarian masquerade .

In Nomine 6:56 New Music Players conducted by Nicholas Smith Total duration: 71:35 TIME, SPACE AND CHANGE Time, space, change, immutability, the divine and the mortal, the sacred and the profane: these themes and the tensions between them are at the heart of Ed Hughes’ rich and nuanced musical language. All three pieces on this CD – Cuckmere: A Portrait, Media Vita, and Sinfonia – traverse historical and geographical landscapes, exploring the perennial cycles of the natural world and illuminating those elements of the past that have been long obscured by assumed familiarity and the passage of time. As the composer of scores for silent films (by Sergei Eisenstein and Yasujiro Ozu) Hughes is no stranger to the illustrative, but the immediacy in these three works is born of his intense musical curiosity in the complexities and contradictions of human experience and in our place, through time, in the natural world.

    FULL CAST ANNOUNCED FOR BABETTE’S FEAST AT PRINT ROOM AT THE CORONET • Joseph Marcell, Sheila Atim, Diana Quick and Marjorie Yates lead the cast • Further cast: Norma Attalah, Amanda Boxer, Richard Clews, Henry Everett, Whoopie Van Raam, Rachel Winters • Bill Buckhurst directs this new adaptation of Karen Blixen’s novella, 30 years on from the release of the Oscar-winning film The full casting has been announced for Glyn Maxwell’s commissioned adaptation of the much loved short story Babette’s Feast by the revered Danish storyteller Karen Blixen. Bringing their innovative style to Print Room at the Coronet, Bill Buckhurst reunites with designer Simon Kenny, following their hugely successful collaboration on "Sweeney Todd" at Harrington's Pie and Mash Shop. The 2015 production transferred to the West End and is now playing off-Broadway at New York's Barrow Street Theatre. With new music composed by Olly Fox, this world premiere, telling the story of one community’s willingness to accept a stranger in need, begins previews on 9th May. Karen Blixen is widely recognised for the portrayal of her by Meryl Streep in the Academy Award Winning film, Out of Africa, as well Gabriel Axel’s acclaimed screen adaptation of Babette’s Feast, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Blixen wrote some of Denmark’s most-loved fiction from the 1900’s to her death in 1962, often under pseudonyms, most prolifically as Isak Dinesen who is credited as the author of Babette’s Feast. Glyn Maxwell’s new adaptation will tell the story of Martine and Philippa, two sisters living in a remote coastal village with their father, The Dean.

  • The Place for Poetry 2015-Full Programme
    The Place for Poetry Goldsmiths Writers’ Centre Goldsmiths, University of London 7th – 8th May 2015 This dynamic two-day festival will investigate the spaces in which contemporary poetry operates. Through a programme of seminars, readings and academic papers from leading poets and poetic practitioners, we aim to explore the place of, as well as the spaces for poetry in modern life. From war reporting to mappings of migration, from defining individual identity to relating stories of community, contemporary poets take on huge themes. Yet what space does poetry occupy? What tasks can it perform? How is poetry used to negotiate the three-dimensional world? Where do we locate the impulse towards the experiential, the political and the experimental in contemporary poetry? How does poetry accommodate language shifts – especially urban languages? What are the fertile areas for growth and publication in poetry?
